The ideas are different. The technology is different. The precision is different. A solution for automating the cutting process of irregularly shaped food products.
[CUTR Overview] - Utilizing a patented cutting mechanism and AI that flexibly determines cutting methods, we perform high-speed cutting processes with excellent yield. We develop dedicated hardware for cutting processes tailored to the required processing capacity and weather resistance in manufacturing environments. The AI estimates the position and posture of irregular objects to decide on cutting methods, achieving yields equal to or greater than those of human operators. - By proposing solutions that include handling and disposal of removed parts, we realize the automation of the cutting process. Adjustments can be made based on weight for cutting divisions and removal rates for inedible parts, allowing for flexible changes to cutting methods in line with daily operations. Our system can also integrate with existing equipment and robotic arms, tailored to inspection targets, takt times, and upstream and downstream processes.

Applications/Examples of results
【Use Cases】 - Automation of lettuce core removal achieved at speeds and yields equal to or greater than human workers. Successfully automated high-speed core removal by having AI estimate the position and orientation of the core inside the lettuce based on its appearance, enabling not only compatibility with various types of lettuce but also the ability to set the core removal rate, thus optimizing and controlling yield. - Successful development of automation technology for maitake mushroom cutting, leading to an agreement on the development of next-generation packaging lines. Successfully developed an automatic cutting robot equipped with an AI algorithm capable of cutting at a level comparable to the best skilled workers. The robot stably grips the irregular and fragile maitake mushrooms and controls/corrects the device according to the AI algorithm's inference results, achieving precise cuts as intended.
